Mazumdar Shaw Center for Translational Research (MSCTR) has been established with the aim of developing scientific breakthroughs resulting in more effective and affordable healthcare for a wide range of human diseases and conditions. The center provides an interface for the integration of engineering, science and medicine in a discovery-centered environment towards the development of new treatment modalities.

Some of our on-going research projects are

Development of whole next generation cancer genome sequencing approaches to rapidly characterize tumor heterogeneity and cancer clonal evolution during therapy

Applying tissue engineering principles to develop culture systems that will provide us with better in vitro tumor modeling to understand cancer biology

Development of new biomarkers for leukemia, glioblastoma and head & neck cancers

Develop strategies to better identify patients who will not respond to conventional chemotherapy

Understanding the role of microRNA in cancer pathology and development of RNAi-based therapeutics

Improving targeted therapies for cancer by developing new delivery systems to deliver drugs locally and in therapeutic concentrations to relevant sites in living organisms

Understanding the role of cancer stem cells in cancer development and relapse
